Aimtech Warhammer Shotgun Mount, Mossberg 500, 12 Gauge, Black ASM-3WH


Aimtech Warhammer
Once in a while you find a product that just transform the look and feel of a certain item and this is one of them.

The Aimtecth Warhammer not only is totally functional it also makes your firearm looks and feel totally different after you put it on. Having an impressive line-up of rails solidly mounted on your firearm (making putting any accessories on it easy) plus the totally tactical look transform your firearm to something you wouldn't want to be in the business end off. And for me that works well since scaring of would be intruder or thief is so much better than the use of deadly force. That being said there is a few cons to it let me enumerate my Pros and Cons.

PROS:
* Comes with a generous supply of rails for every mounting need.
* Solidly mounts on your firearm, mounted right this thing can handle any recoil
* Fit and finish is superb no sharp edges even in the rails.
* Gives your firearm that very intimidating look...
Attractive yet functional accessory for your shotgun
As stated in many of the other reviews for this product, the Aimtech Warhammer is a very attractive addition to your tactical shotgun and one that offers a lot of mounting options for other accessories. But this comes at a price... a "heavy" price.

I installed this on a Mossberg 590 8-shot Persuader with a Phoenix Technologies Kicklite collapsible stock. The Warhammer afforded me a generous amount of real estate to mount a host of other not-so-essential, but really cool rail-mounted accessories such as Magpul MBUS Gen 2 front/rear flip-up sights, a UTG illunimated red/green dot optical sight, and a UTG tactical weaponlight. This ensemble of dressings amounts to an extreme makeover for my trusted shotty.

The downside is the added weight which is quite hefty. The shotgun out-of-the-box weighs in at about 7 pounds. The Warhammer adds a whopping 2 pounds! The other aforementioned accessories combined pack on an additional 18.5 ounces bringing this bad boy to a total...
Great add-on but NOT for Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Edition.
I purchased this after doing much research on a NORMAL Mossberg 500 and it looks and works great but I didn't take into consideration that the install needed to fit over a normal barrel and not a flared out breach barrel that comes on the Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Edition. The 2 bracket parts in the front just won't slide over the breach barrel like the instructions said for a normal end barrel. I had to take the barrel off and try and rig them on. Problem is that the diameter of the barrel seems too wide and the shield actually bends over the bracket and doesn't sit straight. It took me over 2 hours to finally get it on but I am not looking forward to having to take it off... Plus if you do try this get yourself a can of flat black touch up paint. You are going to need it!
So I give this 5 stars because it is a great product and the seller was super fast on the shipping but it wasn't made for a special edition gun and with enough elbow grease you can fit it on the Thunder Ranch...
